I'm currently having an issue with Super Mario Bros. on the 3DS. This is the free version given out to 3DS Ambassadors. I completed the game and have started and finished the second quest of the game many times. Unfortunately I can not play the original easier quest of the game anymore. Dying only brings me back to the start of the second quest and winning does the same thing. Hitting reset within the menus also doesn't allow me to start the game over either. What can I do?

(I've noticed this problem with other NES Ambassador games as well, but they aren't as much of an issue. For example hitting reset on some games doesn't play their title screen music.)

There seems to be a lot of similar issues with your Ambassador games. To fix the problems for Super Mario Bros., you should delete the game from your system memory and then redownload it from the eShop. This may get rid of the glitch. You can report this to Nintendo with their webform, if you like.

Tapping Reset on the bottom screen does not fix the issue. The only solution that I could think of was, as mentioned before, deleting the game and redownloading it which seems a bit annoying. If anyone knows of a better fix please let me know.
